Hi!

It must have been ignorance on my side, but also the fact that something
like ‘revparse-single’ has to guess what it is you’re looking for (is
this string a commit ID? a tag name? a branch name?), whereas here we
can explicitly state what we want and thus reduce the search space and
ambiguity.
Does that make sense?
